According to investigation, presently there are no more than 1,000 giant pandas living in the six mountain mountain-systems--southern side of Qinling Mountains, Mingshan Mountains, Qionglai Mountains, Major-Minor Xiangling Mountains and Liangshan Mountains, and they are divided into about 20-isolated genus groups. Due to the constant cutting of the forest during the past 40 years between the 1950s to the 1990s, four fifth of the habitat of giant pandas had already been devoured. The situation threatened the survival of giant pandas.
